The Whole Child

Just as the knee bone’s connected to the leg bone, and the wrist bone’s connected to the arm bone, your child’s development is a web of connectivity! Although it’s all connected, child development is separated into five areas: intellectual development, physical development, social development, emotional development, and spiritual development.

The experiences that your child has in any one of the areas listed have an inseparable impact on her growth and development in all of the other areas. Your child’s connection with you, the relationships she has with other people, and her daily experiences come together to form what is called the “whole child.” Each of the areas of development listed are equally important for the healthy development of your whole child.
